Bulk Actions

Organizations like NHF with 1,400 local chapters face practical limits when managing users one at a time. Bulk actions directly reduce coordinator and admin time spent on administrative overhead, freeing capacity for operational work. The ability to bulk-invite or bulk-deactivate is particularly valuable at organizational transitions (annual membership renewals, volunteer cohort changes) where dozens of users change status simultaneously. Resending invitation emails in bulk addresses a common onboarding friction point - users who miss or ignore the initial invite email. Without bulk resend, admins must manually locate each pending user and trigger the action individually, which is impractical at scale. The feature also supports the platform's positioning as a low-overhead solution compared to spreadsheet-based alternatives.

The selection state is managed client-side in React component state or a lightweight Zustand/Jotai store - no server round-trip until an action is submitted. The "select all across full result set" case sends the current filter parameters to the server rather than a list of IDs, allowing the server to apply the operation to all matching rows without the client needing to paginate through all results first. Bulk deactivation POSTs to `/api/v1/admin/users/bulk-deactivate` with either an array of user IDs or a filter payload. The server processes these in a database transaction and writes a single audit log entry with the list of affected user IDs. Bulk role assignment follows the same privilege-level guards as single role assignment. The confirmation dialog for deactivation shows the count of affected users and a non-recoverable warning, though soft deactivation is always reversible by design.
